I'm so happy with my cheap & easy council house bathroom makeover – I used a £2.50 Poundland buy & TikTok Shop tiles
Eager to keep the costs down, Amber, who is currently on a mission to turn her ' council house into a home,' used bargains from Poundland and TikTok Shop to transform her space from drab to fab.

So if you want to add style to your home and aren't sure where to start, you'll be pleased to know that you've come to the right place.
Posting on social media, the content creator uploaded a short clip showing off her bathroom prior to its overhaul, which she shared with the caption 'On a budget and need to upcycle your bathroom? I got you!'
Amber then revealed how she transformed her council bathroom for less than £100 as she beamed: 'I am so happy with the final results of this and I'm gonna show you how I did it.'
Rather than forking out for a new shower system and posh tiles, Amber used a multi-purpose spray paint from Poundland and peel and stick self-adhesive tiles from TikTok Shop.
She explained: 'So I used these TikTok shop tiles and some £2.50 spray paint from Poundland and I sprayed the f**k out of that shower cause it was yellow as f**k.'
As she stuck the tiles to her bathroom wall, she added: 'I am obsessed with these tiles - I also have them in my kitchen, they've been up for six months now and they're still perfect.
'These tiles are a little bit trickier to put up than the ones in my kitchen because of the pattern, but, you know, it is doable. It's great, I'm literally obsessed.'
Showing off the finished space, which was given a fresh new look quickly, easily and on a very tight budget, the DIY fan continued: 'I love it, this is such a cheap and easy way to transform your bathroom or your kitchen.'
While Amber spent less than £3 on the black spray paint, her 'game changer' Living And Home peel and stick wall tiles, which you can buy from TikTok Shop, were £19.99 for a pack of 10.
There's plenty of colours and styles to choose from and Amber acknowledged that she bought six packs but has 'loads spare.'
Trolls say council houses can't look nice but my stunning hallway will prove them wrong
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ amberjw.x, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 130,500 views, 5,114 likes and 71 comments.
DIY fans were impressed with Amber's simple but effective bathroom makeover and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this.
One person said: 'Looks great!'
Another added: 'Love it.'
However, many had the same complaint, as one user begged: 'Please purchase a new shower head.'
A second chimed in and asked: 'Why didn't you replace your shower head?'
Whilst someone else wondered: 'Why didn't you do the shower head? It's still yellow.'

Saturday's Lotto jackpot estimated at £7.3m after no ticket wins top prize
Saturday's lottery jackpot will be an estimated £7.3 million after no players won Wednesday's top prize. The winning Lotto numbers were 17, 31, 47, 05, 58 and 09, while the bonus number was 35. No players matched all six main numbers, meaning the jackpot was missed, while no ticket-holders won £1 million by matching five of the six numbers plus the bonus ball. Set of balls 3 and draw machine Lotto2 were used in the first Lotto draw since the National Lottery paused over the weekend to enable the biggest technology upgrade in the game's 31-year history. In Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw, no players matched all five numbers to win the £350,000 top prize. Two ticket-holders won £13,000 each after matching four of the five numbers. The winning Thunderball numbers were 19, 02, 27, 03 and 38, and the Thunderball was 11. No ticket-holders won £500,000 by matching all five numbers plus the Thunderball. One player matched all five regular numbers, which earned them £5,000.

For the BBC to survive it must radically change its culture… from top to bottom
Beeb's mess WHAT a sorry mess the BBC has now got itself into. Nothing sums up its self-inflicted plight more than deciding to last night broadcast MasterChef featuring Gregg Wallace and John Torode. 1 After some frantic editing, they stripped the show of all 'jokes' — but still managed to put two stars who were sacked in disgrace just two weeks ago on screen 100 times. Little wonder Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy refused to watch. Meanwhile, as we report today, the probe into allegations of a toxic culture at BBC Breakfast is set to be widened. And the furore over the Corporation's broadcasting of an antisemitic rant by the rapper Bob Vylan continues. It's deeply disturbing that Beeb bosses have been unable to convince Ms Nandy the scandal could not be repeated. From Strictly to Huw Edwards, Auntie lurches from one fiasco to another — with angry viewers fobbed off with that tired old excuse about 'lessons being learned'. This matters because licence-fee payers are forced by law to fund the Corporation — and so have little option but to suck up the mayhem and mismanagement. For the BBC to survive, it must radically change its culture….from top to bottom. Sinking plans LABOUR has unveiled a raft of policies this week aimed at stopping the boats. Each shallow gimmick has already quickly unravelled. John Torode sacked by BBC after being accused of using N-word while singing along to Kanye West song Gold Digger How can ministers catch the people-smugglers 'illegally' advertising crossings on social media given they mostly operate from abroad? How will prosecutors identify those committing a 'criminal offence' by causing overcrowding on the dinghies? Is it the first person on the boat . . . or should it be the last? Labour's one-in-one-out deal with France also looks doomed already as migrants can use human rights laws to fight deportation — while the French have power of veto over any swap. Certainly, the migrants — who arrived by the boatload again yesterday — aren't taking any notice. Kinnock knock DESPERATE patients trapped on endless NHS lists are increasingly turning to private healthcare to get treatment. Many are not rich but use hard-earned savings to do so. Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock — on a massive EU pension and no stranger to paying privately himself — now says they should cough up VAT, too.

The Fortune Hotel viewers devastated as pair are axed in shock elimination twist
THE Fortune Hotel viewers were left gutted as a pair were axed in a brutal elimination twist. Hosted by Stephen Mangan, the hit ITV game show returned for a second series. 3 3 3 Viewers watched 11 pairs make their debut - but were immediately faced with a twist. Only 10 pairs would get a room in The Fortune Hotel - as one duo would be eliminated at the first hurdle. The contestants took part in a tense boat race, with the first five pairs to arrive guaranteed safety. However, the bottom six were at risk of leaving before the contest fully began. One by one, they picked a case while hoping they didn't find the dreaded early checkout card. Business partners Briony and Chelsea were the unlucky pair - with their Fortune Hotel journey ultimately short and sweet. One viewer wrote on X: "So unlucky for Bryony and Chelsey #TheFortuneHotel." Another added: "Awww poor Briony and Chelsea! #TheFortuneHotel." A third chimed in: "Well that lasted long. Gutted for them both!! "They would have been so funny to watch! #TheFortuneHotel." A fourth suggested: "I'm guessing that Chelsey and Briony will get some kind of reprieve later in the series." A fifth penned: "OUCH!! Chelsey & Briony has wound up with the early checkout card. They are heading straight home no sooner than they arrived & they didn't even get to spend a night in the hotel." While a sixth said: "#TheFortuneHotel Getting the unfortunate card and going home Is Briony and Chelsea! "Such a shame to see them both go home so soon."
